English interest in Cowboys prop (RA)

[greeneyed]

cant those wankers from england get there own player im sic and tired of them trying to get our players.

He's a New Zealander. Can't complain about an English club trying to sign him from an Australian club.

How old is he? If he's 27 I'd be interested in seeing him at Bradford. He'd be 28 by the end of 2005 and still have a good 3 years left. He's looked top class whenever I've seen him.

As for SL being a League of "has-beens" the tide is turning. The Aussie Schoolboys have been beaten the past two times they've played their equivilents over here and our test team isn't exactly full of old men any more.

which is exactly the reason that the Enlgish powers that be should be looking to sign good performers in their mid 20's as imports instead of older players at the end of their careers, or younger blokes who would never make it here. Obviously the English junior system is excelling at the minute and their top side is playing some good football with some top players in it....yet the ESL is still being filled by has beens and never was'

Good call. He is a New Zealander who ended up at the Cowboys by way of Warriors, Storm, Knights and the Dogs - not to mention NZ, Maori, Northcote and others.

He's 31 years old, doesn't show it though. In a lot better shape than Shane Webcke and he's a bit younger than him.

He is really in his prime at the moment and is a real leader i never rated him at the knights or the doggies.
